Beignets. The beignets reminded me of the ones from the original Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. I didn't feel the flavor was too bland as some readers suggested, but it does require more powdered sugar then the recipe calls for. I'll probably add a little vanilla to enhance the flavor next time.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, combine egg yolks, sugar, ¼ cup water, melted butter, and vanilla and stir to combine. Beignet (/ ˈ b ɛ n j eɪ / BEN-yay, also US: / b eɪ n ˈ j eɪ, b ɛ n ˈ j eɪ / bayn-YAY, ben-YAY, French: ; lit. '"bump"'), synonymous with the English fritter, is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux pastry. You can cook Beignets using 10 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Beignets may also be made from other types of dough, including yeast dough. To make ahead, store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to one week. New Orleans-style beignets are made from an enriched yeast dough — similar to a doughnut — that contains milk, butter, and eggs for color and texture. New Orleans-style beignets also wear a much thicker coat of powdered sugar than their French counterpart.

Ingredients In Beignets I made this recipe a bit more conservatively because I didn't want too many beignets but if you're planning on feeding a huge crowd go ahead and double the recipe because one thing's for. Beignets were also brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. These were fried fritters, sometimes filled with fruit. Today, the beignet is a square piece of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
